I have to say that some of the reviews of this product make me despair of the whole review process. They seem to fall into "no coffee maker should cost this much," or "it's not made of platinum." In either case, my advice is this: don't buy it! For those interested in a review of the thing itself, so you can decide if it's worth the (high) price here it is.
My wife and I like coffee. It's one of the day's regular pleasures and we drink coffee every day. So we think our regular use justifies some extravagance. We buy good coffee. For years we used a small plastic Krupps grinder and a Krupps then Cusineart coffee maker. And it was fine. But then I took a flier on a burr grinder--way more expensive than the Krupps grinder (c. $100 vs $25 or so). And it was a revelation!! So then, with some Christmas money in hand we did research and were persuaded by a Cooks' Illustrated review and bought the Technivorm. Wow! My idea of coffee is entirely changed. I get all that stuff about "notes of chocolate," and all that. It is just terrific coffee. What excellent wine is to table wine (and we drink a lot of table wine; so this is not about snobbism).
The whole Technivorm schtick is simple: a good pump, and keep the coffee at c. 200F until it comes out the nozzle over the coffee. Who would think it would make such a difference? But it does. The machine itself is perfectly durable, but it's not fancy and is largely plastic, not metal. Whatever. The thermos keeps the coffee hot (if, as the instructions suggest, you rinse it first with hot water) for at least 5 hours. After that you should make a new pot anyway. It is fast, and it is quiet. It makes 10.5 cups, which is a little less than we'd like when company comes (12 is good).
The question is, and it's a real question--is this indulgence the way you want to spend your money?
And of course, its durability is unproven--we've only had it for a month. But it makes wonderful coffee. If that's really important to you, and you've got the money, then this machine won't disappoint you.
=====
A couple of years later: The TV is still going strong, still making wonderful coffee. It has slowed a bit despite occasional white-vinegar treatments. Most notable: the carafe has colored on the inside and has a sort of brown glaze on the bottom. It seems not to affect the taste, but looks a bit grotty. Otherwise, still well worth the money!
=======
13 (!!) years on and still going strong. DO be sure and use both the descaler and the cleaner recommended by the company. I didn't descale thoroughly enough and that might mean the boiler (no pump, as someone kindly pointed out) is less efficient. Another TVMM may be in our future. But that's on me. The cleaner removes a shocking amount of gunk! Still wonderful coffee, quickly brewed and utterly reliable. Some reviews still strike me as foolish but whatever. Most are enthusiastic as positive as is mine—still, after more than a decade!

Coffee On The Go
Every stainless steel, double-walled Moccamaster carafe comes with two lids. With the Brew-Thru lid in place, you can brew and pour your coffee, minimizing heat loss. On the go? Switch to the travel lid and enjoy hot coffee wherever your day takes you.
Tested and Approved
We evaluate Moccamaster coffee brewers across the four T’s of coffee brewing: temperature, time, turbulence, and total dissolved solids (TDS). A brewer that performs within the ideal ranges of the four T’s produces the perfect ratio of coffee flavor compounds extracted into water, which the SCA refers to as “the golden cup.” That ratio creates the flavors we enjoy when we sit back with a good cup of coffee, and every Moccamaster hits that mark every brew cycle.
The Coffee Brewer for Coffee Lovers
Since 1968, Moccamaster coffee brewers have set the global benchmark for at-home coffee brewing. Designed to extract the maximum flavor from your grounds in about 4-6 minutes, coffee from a Moccamaster is comparable to what you would brew using a more complex manual process or drink in a café.
We build our coffee brewers to last, using only the highest quality materials and offering replacement parts. With proper care and maintenance, this should be the last coffee brewer you ever need to buy.
- Moccamaster coffee brewers are handmade in heart of the Netherlands.
- Our brewers have a durable metal housing and use a copper boiling element to heat the water, which allows for consistent water temperature control.
- All plastics are BPA, BPS, BPF, and phthalate-free.
- We individually test every brewer before it leaves our factory.

Good Coffee, Easy to use but Kind of Flimsy for an Expensive Coffee Maker
First let me say that I am not a coffee snob. I drink black coffee or espresso. That is it. I drink average stuff, which I don't enjoy as much but drink it and more expensive stuff....that I enjoy more. I have a Hario pour over, Ninja drip, and a Breville espresso machine.My Ninja was a compromise between my wife and myself since she likes variety and tea plus I like the options for different size's of coffee and option to steep the coffee or not. Just to add, I also roast my own coffee but I also buy roasted beans...still not a fancy coffee aficionado but just enjoy the process. I don't have a delicate enough palate to discern some of the coffee nuances as others do....I either like it or I don't...but still drink it.I have had this Moccamaster KBT for two weeks and I got it because the reviews were good and it looked interesting. I got the KBT version because I wanted an insulated carafe versus a glass carafe that sat on a warmer. I had read reviews about how much people like the coffee and since our Ninja was starting to act up, I decided it was time to try it. I am still not sure if I will keep it or not. The coffee is good and the process is easy. There is an on/off button....that is it. Literally nothing else which is okay with me. I don't need delays, clocks, buzzers, etc. I like that part and the pot design is very simplistic. One side heats the water, a tube that pours it over the coffee in the basket, and a carafe that catches it. That is it.The carafe, water warmer side, and water outlet arm seem well made but the cap over the water reservoir is kind of a thin plastic which is fine since it is just covering the water reservoir. The water outlet arm is well made but just kind of sticks onto the vertical tube where the water comes up and moves around. There is no lock position so you just try to line it up with where the basket cap will be. So far it works fine but just kind of flimsy. The basket is.....a basket. It is fine, nothing special and the lever to close it or adjust the flow is kind of flimsy. The base is a thin plastic base that connects to the pot the way a roof connects to a house in your kids lego set....just kind of sticks there. You lift the pot and it may or may not stay on...so maybe not like a lego set but like the cheap off brand lego set that mostly works as well as the original lego set but much cheaper....and the kids don't know the difference anyway...:) The scoop is a cheap plastic like the forks that you get in a salad kit, try to use, and then toss in the trash can. Actually, the cheap plastic scoop works fine and it is 2 tablespoons so it makes it very nice to measure amounts correctly...if you are anal about the amount being exact....Overall, the coffee pot is exactly what I need. Simple, makes good coffee, and probably won't break down. So why give it 3 stars? The price. $300 for something that should be like $50.....
